[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. We can afford private schools and we looked into it extensively.  Unfortunately, they are not the best place for highly gifted children.  MCPS magnet programs are what best suited our children and they were able to go there.  However, they were [b]prepared to go to the magnet programs, by the education they got in  MCPS ES.  [/b] Now they are in MCPS magnet HS.

We have revisited private schools each and every time time we were apprehensive about if they would be accepted or not  into the program. In other words, we looked at private schools when it came time to apply to MS and HS magnets.  Each time, the private schools were far inferior in terms of rigor, EC activities and peer group.  And I have two kids in magnet HS now.

Another thing I noticed that private schools had more kids who had learning or behavior issues who are in the regular classes.  I did not want disruptions in the classroom regardless of if the parent of the disruptive child was donating megabucks.  YMMV.

For now, MCPS is better than what is being offered by any school in this region.  I do admit that it is not high praise for the school system in US as a whole.

You are completely full of shit saying that MCPS ES prepared your child for a magnet.  They don't offer anything for gifted kids until 4th grade.   Your child being highly gifted has zero to do with MCPS and you know it.  I am sure they were reading novels at age 3 and you had them learning 7,000 other things before K.  So please stop the nonsense that MCPS can actually teach kids without parents input.  MCPS is 90% what is home and 10% school.  A teacher on here not long ago admitted kids are taught directly about 35-45min the entire school day in public school.

If MCPS actually did what they were supposed to do, there would be no achievement gap.  They get by on a heavily involved parents in the middle and upper middle class. [/quote]
